The term ‘antisemitism’ is being weaponised and stripped of meaning – and that’s incredibly dangerous

Your grandparents oppression doesn't give you the right to genocide others. If you're Jewish and not genociding others, then you're not being talked about here.
Israel in it's current state must be dismantled and given back to the people.
Like what happened in Gaza in 2005.
An open air prison with enforced embargo and regular bombings to keep the prisoners in terror and destroy infrastructure on a fraction of a fraction of stolen land is not "giving the land back to the people."

Being against genocide is now Nazi behavior got it thanks for the heads up.
Do you agree with everything Netanyahu, Israel, and every Jewish person who has ever lived has ever done?
Emphasis mine. Who's that generic "you" in your comment?
I'm asking because, in this context, it reads like "critics of the war", so it implies "criticising the war is to act like a Nazi", something blatantly false.
Logic is antisemitic, but only when you do it, not when I do it.
I'm having trouble believing this statement is genuine.
An example of folks who changed the meaning of Apartheid to "inequality in places I don't like, " and Genocide to "any war I don't like" now clutching their pearls over the purity of language. I don't like how the term antisemitisn has been abused, but I also don't like the hypocrisy of people who are fine with weaponizing sensitive language when it suits them.
Apartheid and Genocide have clear meanings both of which Israeli actions against Palestinians are textbook examples of.
